Well, I found the summary completely incomprehensible, so DARPA is apparently well on their way with this new technology to befuddle and obfuscate...

I thought that was the purview of the legislature...

rofl'd hard at this. You fucking geek.

Which is so much more fun than computer geek. On the down side, upgrading your equipment is way more complicated... (apologies to Mr. Universe for how the thread twisted)

If the US and China go to war, instead of dividing up the spoils as the Russians self-destruct, I will run barefoot down a street paved with broken glass to pop a pimple on a bobcat's balls with a hand full of barbed wire.

I would tend to agree with you, but I'll start looking for a venue just in case things go the other way...
Shaving bobcat balls to find a pimply set is going to be the hard part.
As for the rest, Vegas Baby!

Authentification?

It's a perfectly cromulentificated word.

Right! Embiggen your vocabulary already...

My ass could lead in power production by 2050 also.

To be fair, one link cited this:
String os = System.getProperty("os.name");
if (os.startsWith("Windows 9") || os.equals("Windows Me")) {
throw new RuntimeException(

For my money, anytime Windows Me is detected you should throw an exception, a flag, and maybe a fit...

This could also be a major step towards quantum computing.

Why is that just thrown in there? It seems kind of random. "Pizza Hut has created a bacon, cheese, AND sausage stuffed crust pizza! This amazing pizza is very delicious. This could also be a major step towards quantum computing."

The only thing that would improve that comment would be to have it read by Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper...
Well Done!

I feel like I died and woke up on a movie set.

No, I'm sure that didn't happen. Here there a low ratio of women and not a lot of good looking people period.

Rest assured, the NSA will be getting the unobfuscated stuff and sending the obfuscated data back to MS.

No, this is much worse than that. The collection of data will lead to Microsoft "helping" you use the system...
and that will be a justification for their ultimate goal...

I wasn't saying that this particular person (a lawyer, go figure) did not deserve to be jailed for contempt. I said there is no sentence, and no trial. It's a case of comply or rot. If you forgot how to decrypt a file that the judge ordered decrypted, or you claimed the file was corrupted and therefor lost forever, you could well be in the same boat as that guy... 14 years without a trial or (allegedly) a way to remedy the situation...
